This chapter really drives home the idea that we don't make a decision without input from propaganda. There's an outline of how velvet took off in Paris and America. This was a great showcase for how propaganda is carefully crafted to influence the public.
When dishwashers became available for housewives, there was a huge campaign to get housewives to want one. There were commercials everywhere. Television, radio, newspapers, and magazines had ads glorifying dishwashers. I have no doubt that housewives were told this wonderful machine was going to make their lives easier. It was going to cut down on the workload of the housewife. It was going to free her up to dote on her family. Of course, they sold like hotcakes.
After velvet, freedom torches, and the dishwasher you had to know that manufactured food. Yep! Genetically Modified Foods before there were multiple ways to describe them. Of course, they were going to save the housewife time in the kitchen. Here we go again. Promising assistance without telling the consequences. Like all the garbage that will accumulate because of the containers. Or the future of obesity.
The next chapter is on the propagandists themselves. Should be interesting learning more about these soulless yahoos that push this GMO, cancer-causing, and water-wasting garbage on us.
